Dani Alves, in prison since January 20 after being accused of alleged rape, wrote a letter to his wife, Joana Sanz, after confirming the divorce. In it, the Brazilian confirms his feelings for her and assures that he is innocent of the charges in which he is accused.
The document was released by the Spanish TV program “Y Ahora Sonsoles” and Joana Sanz herself communicated live, but preferred not to release further statements on the matter. In a passage from the letter, Alves writes: “I understand the pain that the unjust situation we are experiencing is causing and I understand you couldn’t handle all that pressure.”
At the end of the message, Alves promises his wife of eight years: “I will fight to the end with the unconditional love of my children, my parents and those who are still by my side, because soon prove my innocence to the whole world”.
The complete letter from Dani Alves
“My dear Joana. It has been almost 8 years of so much love, affection, respect and mutual care. Particularly in recent years with you everything seems easier and more pleasant (sic). You and my children, Dani Filho and Victoria, were the best thing that happened to me in my life.
We have grown together since the day we met. From the first minute we started a life together. We have accompanied each other all these years. Strengthen and pamper each other’s lives. Now, in these difficult times, I regret your decision and hope that life will give us another chance to love you again.
I understand the pain that the unfair situation we are experiencing is causing and I understand that you have not been able to bear all that pressure. The facts of which I am accused are foreign to me, and to the values that have guided my life: love, respect and hard work.
I will continue to fight as I always have, believing in myself with the support and trust of those who know who I really am: I will fight to the end with the unconditional love of my children, my parents and whoever continues to be my part , to soon prove my innocence to the whole world.”
